I feel I need to appologize

7 years ago, I posted a reply to a comment about bitcoin in this thread: Right Here, a user tipped me 25cents (USD) in BTC as a result of my comment. I went through the effort to collect the BTC and put it in a wallet and promptly forgot all about it. Today I was talking to my brother about BTC and remembered that interaction and went on a little quest to find my forgotten fraction of a BTC. After some digging in my email, I found my wallet stored on Blockchain.com and my .25c is now worth $96! So I appologize for my comments back then calling bitcoin black magic and comparing it to a pyramid scheme. I have many regrets over this. Had I been smart enough to invest just $500 at that time, I'd have over $190,000 today - that's an incredible return in just 8 years. So anyway, that's all I came here to say. Carry on. Oh, for some reason the person who tipped me the .25c is suspended so I can't thank them directly. /u/_________lol________ if you're out there - Thanks man!

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
